1965 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud

An absolutely stunning example of the marque, this is a true and recent Amelia Island concours winner which would most likely have to present as the best example of its kind available today.



Finished in striking Midnight Sapphire with cream leather interior, the Flying Spur represents one of the most desirable iterations of the Silver Cloud series.

This 1965 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III Continental Flying Spur is one of just 17 LHD examples built with what is arguably one of Mulliner Park Wards most elegant design and coachwork. Presented in concours condition, the Flying Spur combines rarity, award-winning provenance, and tasteful updates that make it both highly collectible and genuinely usable.



Chassis LSFU787 was delivered new in 1965 to Katherine Goff of Corona del Mar, California, through Beverly Hills dealer Charles Hornburg. A passionate Rolls-Royce enthusiast, Mrs. Goff cared for the Silver Cloud III meticulously until her passing at age 90. Later owners included UPS heir John Bradley, who commissioned the restoration in the late 1990s, and Ronald Benach, a dedicated RROC member from Chicago. The former owner, a noted collector of significant Rolls-Royce and Bentleys, acquired the Silver Cloud III in 2016. Under this stewardship, the Flying Spur earned First in Class at Amelia Island in 2017 and the H.J. Mulliner Park Ward Award at the 2024 RROC Annual Meet which is awarded to the Best of Show Coachbuilt Rolls-Royce or Bentley at the RROC Annual meeting.



The exterior is presented beautifully in Midnight Sapphire, accented by chrome trim that retains exceptional depth and clarity. The Midnight Sapphire exterior has a deep luster and shine that is in excellent condition. Every single fitting; chrome, lights, lenses and fixture are in excellent to flawless condition. Distinctive US-delivery clear parking light lenses, now seldom seen, adds to the rarity of this Flying Spur. This Flying Spurs restoration and subsequent preservation ensure it maintains concours standards while remaining highly usable for both display and touring.



The interior is a showcase of Rolls-Royce craftsmanship. The burled walnut interior is in superb condition displaying a rich, deep grain with a glass-like lustre. The cream leather upholstery is supple and like new, accompanied by beige Wilton wool carpeting and Dark Blue mouton sheepskin overlays, all in excellent condition. The Flying Spur has an integrated trunk-mounted air-conditioning unit with the eye-catching swiveling vent ducts mounted on the rear parcel shelf. All instruments function correctly. The interior is in superb presentation and holds it own at any showing or event worldwide.



The car is complete with a full tool kit, jack, spare tire, the original owners handbook and historical documentation.
